The irony of that is that Henry Tudor was a Catholic and Henry VIII was vocal proponent of papal authority until the pope refused to grant the annulment.
He regarded the English Church as a Catholic Church -- and not a Protestant one -- simply in schism, just as the Eastern Church had already been for 500 years. The Church of England, as distinct from the Church of Rome became a church which regarded Rome as apostate -- as Protestants did [and do] -- after agents of the Roman Church attempted to murder Elizabeth.
She herself saw no real difference between the various denominations of Christianity.
